I get what Snyder was doing, I just think he failed. Like I said he bet on theme and philosophical imagery and it didn't connect to most of the audience, so the largest part of the public didn't care when he died, didn't buy into the whole world mourinig his death or care when he came back to life, except for a cool fight scene it generate since he came back evil.
And again, Snyder couldn't have done something else, I agree with you, James Wan and Patty Jenkins could and that's why the audience liked their movies more. They are just more versatile filmakers, Wan comes from horror and Jenkins most known work was Monster and crime movie, yet both capable of making action adventure superhero stories. I really like Cavill as Superman and would like he to have another shot in a solo movie, I just hope that if it happens, WB get a more suitable director, someone capable of understanding the character beyond Christ metaphors and pretentious philosophical questions.

I'd say there is an arc and progression across the movies, but only in the loosest/most superficial sense of the terms.
We should reboot right? Shame Cavill never got his chance though
I don't know where the god-superman thing comes from?? There are a lot of heroes and villains in the Dc universe that are just as powerful or more powerful than superman!! Some act like superman can't be beaten or never has been beaten. He get beaten regularly, most of the time superman serve as a bunch bag for the villains as well as the heroes in the Dc universe. A lot of the time i wonder where he get his rep From!! Because superman get his ass kicked so much!!!

Idk either. Isn't the reason we keep coming back to him because he has a distinct personality? So how can we see that in a movie if he's just used as a symbol?
I think the Superman is OP thing is somewhat overblown. And an OP character can be interesting in the right premise.
I'd want to say yes, and it looks like they are rebooting, but it looks like they're going in a "not better" direction going by what everyone says about the new writer. Plus I'm not a fan of racebending.
Sadly the Superman and Lois show looks like the best live action version we're getting this decade. Which, if you aren't a huge fan of the small town family man angle for the Man of Tomorrow, well...
Yeah, I'm just shit out of luck.
Is it too hard to get a Superman movie in space? Or with Supergirl? Or Brainiac?
